Box office: 'San Andreas' rocks its opening weekend to tune of $53.2M

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson outmuscled the competition at domestic movie theaters as the earthquake epic "San Andreas" hauled in an estimated $53.2 million over the weekend. It was Johnson's biggest debut for a non-sequel as the top-billed actor, according to box-office tracker Rentrak.

"Aloha," a critically maligned romantic comedy opened in sixth place with $10 million. The movie was dogged by controversy. Leaked e-mails from former Sony Pictures Entertainment co-chair Amy Pascal last year labeled the "Aloha" script "ridiculous." Then, some Native Hawaiian groups opposed the title as misappropriating the concept of the word.
